As the map of the Great Plain was being redrawn by a young Shazarian councillor, the ageing Shylonian king interrupted mid-speech to ask him his name. With a piercing glare and a haughty flick of his cloak, he retorted ‘Lord Ratilla, Shazarian Imperial Secretary, and who might you be?’ Behind the gasps of horror, the message was clear. It was Shazaria who now bestrode the Amaran world, henceforth the office of Shazarian minister now held greater prestige than even that of foreign monarchs. What became even clearer were the depths of Shazarian treachery. The impudent youth who stood before the kings of Amara stripping them of ancient provinces, was the same adolescent reputed to have delivered an eloquent speech which swayed the Shazarian councillors in favour of war. Had this been their intention all along? . A.H. Septimius
About This Quote

The Shazarian Empire burst on the world scene in the 14th Century. The immediate result was the creation of the Amaran Empire, which was ruled by a succession of great monarchs. However, the Shazarian Empire was seen to be just another imperialistic power that had to be brought down. So, to be one step ahead of their rivals, the Shazarian councillors set out to destroy the Amaran Empire.

They found a promising young man named Rastu, who could be made to see their vision for an empire. They groomed him up and led him on a campaign against his own countrymen. When he was finally ready, they made him an imperial minister and sent him off to Amara to invade his homeland.
